Market Signals & Indicators

Negotiating Leverage

The current market dynamics suggest that demand absorption is not keeping pace with available inventory, even with supply contraction. The lengthening median days on market and increasing price-reduced share indicate that properties are taking longer to transact, potentially necessitating more flexible price discipline from sellers to facilitate sales. The pace of transactions is slower, and inventory pressure, despite recent reductions, still favors a measured approach from demand participants.

Luxury Segment

The average listing price declined by 8.6% year-over-year, a steeper reduction than the median listing price decrease of 3.3% year-over-year. Concurrently, the median $/sqft saw a 3.9% year-over-year decline. This divergence, coupled with the greater average price decline, suggests some softness within the higher-priced segments of the market.

Supply Dynamics

309 active listings represent the current floor, with new supply arriving at roughly 70 per month.
